Abstract
The following is a transcript of a roundtable discussion between Camille Quamina, Senior Lecturer in the School of Drama at the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts, Kingston, Jamaica; Marvin George, Dean of the School of Drama at the Edna Manley College; Honor Ford-Smith, Associate Professor of Cultural and Artistic Practices for Environmental and Social Justice at York University in Toronto, Canada; and Jason Allen-Paisant, Associate Professor of Aesthetic Theory and Decolonial Thought at the University of Leeds. It took place online on April 26, 2021. The topic of discussion was the use of rituals in Quamina’s and George’s theatre practices. Additionally, in speaking about the function of festivals, rituals, and everyday performance in Caribbean life, we opened up a discussion about how to define Blackness in the Caribbean context, and about whether there were several such definitions, since we felt that this was significant in framing the notion of Black Caribbean futures.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
